Glory World Series has announced 13 of the 16 participants for their Glory Grand Slam 16-man Heavyweight Tournament. The event will take place in Tokyo, Japan this December. Some of the biggest names in Kickboxing have agreed to compete in the tournament and they include Semmy Schilt, Remy Bonjasky, Peter Aerts, Jerome Le Banner, Gokhan Saki, Errol Zimmerman, Anderson “Braddock” Silva, Sergei Kharitonov, Filip Verlinden, Ismael Londt, Brice Guidon, Jamal Ben Saddik and Igor Jurkovic. The event is a one night single elimination tournament; the remaining three spots should be announced soon. At least one Japanese representative is expected to take up one of the three remaining spots.
The tournament will feature four stages with three of those stages featuring shorter rounds (two minutes instead of three). A new “sudden death” rule will also be in effect, essentially making the fights best out of three. If a fighter has won the first two rounds of the fight on the judges score cards then there will be no need to continue to the third round.
The ‘GLORY – Grand Slam Heavyweight’ event is being produced by GLORY and Japan-based partner G-Entertainment.
